Delaware’s Attorney General (AG) is our state’s only elected law enforcement official and the most powerful person in the criminal justice system. As top prosecutor, the AG’s job is to seek justice in criminal cases, work to prevent crime and serve as a leader in the diverse communities he or she represents.

The Attorney General is in charge of all other state prosecutors. The AG sets the policies that dictate which crimes to prosecute, whether someone will be charged with a crime, and who gets a second chance through diversion or treatment programs. They also have tremendous influence over legislation.

Electing an Attorney General who is committed to criminal justice reform is the best way to make significant progress towards reducing mass incarceration and challenging racial bias in the criminal justice system—and you did that. Now we must hold our new AG accountable for the promises she made on the campaign trail.
